The liberals who run New York City are prepared to cede at least some policing power to "a new global, terror-busting network to try to combat homegrown extremism," according to a September 29 press statement.

In an announcement made at the United Nations, avowed socialist Mayor Bill DeBlasio declared New York City's intent to join the UN and the United States Department of Justice in their bid to combat "all forms of extremism, whether it's based in religious, or racial, or nationalistic or ideological intolerance."

With this, de Blasio has effectively ruled that American patriotism is an "intolerance" he won't tolerate. Save for 9/11, however, when was the last time we've seen a major act of "extremism" in New York City (that hasn't come from the mayor himself), anyway?

The Obama Justice Department is claiming that this new law enforcement partnership program — dubbed "Strong Cities" — is really aimed at inspiring "action on a global scale."

"The Strong Cities Network will serve as a vital tool to strengthen capacity-building and improve collaboration," said Attorney General Loretta Lynch. "As we continue to counter a range of domestic and global terror threats, this innovative platform will enable cities to learn from one another, to develop best practices and to build social cohesion and community resilience here at home and around the world."

Under this initiative, cities around the world would be happily "integrating" their efforts to "safeguard" citizens.

"To counter violent extremism, we need determined action at all levels of governance," said Governing Mayor Stian Berger Rosland. "To succeed, we must coordinate our efforts and cooperate across borders. The Strong Cities Network will enable cities across the globe to pool our resources, knowledge and best practices together and thus leave us standing stronger in the fight against one of the greatest threats to modern society."

From the group's 2014 report entitled Old Threat, New Approach: Tackling the Far Right Across Europe: 'The project will also develop an online tool to provide practical training for practitioners, and will seed a long-term network of experts and practitioners working to counter far-right extremism.' "
As of September 30, 23 cities around the world have joined the Strong Cities Network, including New York, Atlanta, Denver, and Minneapolis in the United States.
